Chapter 4: Ecstacy

Their movements felt like they were choreographed, and it was as if there was an invisible connection between them.

"I've never been a man who believed in fate or destiny," Alex said with a wry smile on his lips, "but I think maybe I just found mine."

Maria blushed at the compliment but couldn't deny that she felt something special when she was around him too. She had always thought of herself as someone who preferred stability over passion, but being with Alex made her feel alive in ways she never experienced before.

It was as if her senses had come to life, and she could feel every kiss, touch, and whisper in a way that left her heart racing.

Maria stood up from the bed feeling energized despite the late hour of the night. She smiled at Alex who was still soundly sleeping next to her. Her cheeks felt warm remembering how they spent hours making love like two teenagers caught in their first flame.

She walked over to the bathroom and took a quick shower before putting on a robe covering herself decently enough not wanting to disturb him too much while he slept.

As she exited the bathroom, Alex woke up to her presence and smiled at her. "Good morning" he said, rubbing his eyes while sitting up on the bed. Maria sat down next to him feeling comfortable being around him despite their first meeting just a short time ago.

Her thoughts drifted off as they decided what was for breakfast unaware of time passing by as they chatted in between bites until finally it was lunchtime.
